The two sons of Prince Laurent and princess Claire name Nicolas and Emeric. The prince told that the names are choosen because they like them, and because they are rare. He told also that it's not sure yet if the twins are one or two egg.
As godfather and godmother they want two persons who will learn the kids to be open to the world and other cultures.

I was very happy to see pics of Laurent and cute little Louise..It was great to see him smiling and being so laid back..I think he gets bad rep a lot and probably is a real nice guy...I have always liked him and Claire...
The names for the boys are quite different, can't say I care for Emeric a lot although my mom's maiden name is Emmerich..:) Hey, to each his own!

Prince Laurent of Belgium (C) gave a news conference on Thursday 15 December 2005, at the Saint-Luc Universitary hospital near Brussels, where his wife Princess Claire gave birth to twin boys Nicolas and Emeric on Tuesday 13, one month before term. The twins are reported by the palace to be in fine health
